Bonnie Cleo Andersen (38), mother of three, has been a sex-worker in Denmark since the age of 18.
Prostitution is legal in Denmark. Bonnie works during the day in a small house in a village in the east of the country, then picks her children up after school to take them home, in another village 15 km away.
Her chief hope is that they will have better lives than hers.

Solo, Indonesia
A long-tailed macaque, wearing patchwork clothing and a doll’s head, performs in Solo, Central Java. The monkeys are generally purchased at an animal market and trained to carry out such activities as walking on stilts, riding bicycles, or simply begging.
Once a popular children’s entertainment in villages, performing monkeys are increasingly becoming a feature of life in the city, where their minders use them to earn money from waiting motorists at traffic intersections. A monkey can bring in around €4 a day.
Macaques are not endangered, but concerns have been raised about the welfare of performing animals, particularly as numbers in cities increase.
